The Greenwood Case
|
|
|
|
|
|
21.
|
“(1) Billy
Greenwood was wrongly convicted on drug charges because the police used evidence collected from his
trash. (2) Greenwood appealed his conviction to the Supreme Court. The Court’s
decision was the police did nothing wrong in searching through his trash to gain evidence against
him. (3) The court argued that Greenwood had no right of privacy to trash placed on the
sidewalk in front of his house. (4) They argued that it was possible that trash wanting for
collection could be easily searched by any passing stranger. (5) It is strange that the
Court would make such a decision since we do not expect our trash to be rooted through by every
passing stranger. (6) Personally, I think that we all expect individuals to respect our right
to privacy by not sorting through our trash. (7) The Greenwood case proves that
sometimes the Supreme Court misses the mark entirely.”
